must-read single dad romance with all the heat from New York Times bestselling author Shayla Black, is available now!
I
dared her to spend a hot, no-strings night with me. Now I’m determined to keep
her forever.
I’m Trace Weston, recently reformed womanizer. In the blink of
an eye, I went from busy bachelor to full-time single dad. My life was already
complicated before my sister-in-law asked me to show off my bedroom skills to
her bestie, who’s wanting to experience real pleasure now that her one-and-only
long-term relationship is over. Gorgeous Masey Garrett isn’t my “usual.” She’s
shy, sassy, driven, and incredibly kind. Suddenly I’m falling fast…but she’s
only mine for a night.
What’s a former player to do? Change the rules.
Now she’s under
my roof night after night, letting me into her body and her life. Her heart?
Not so much. She loves my newborn son. Me? I can’t tell. I’m pulling out all
the stops to win her over, but she’s not taking me seriously. Other than
passion, how can I reach her? Every attempt only pulls me deeper under her
spell. Sure, I could drop an L
bomb…except that once imploded my heart. But when her past collides with my
desired future, can I risk everything and dare Masey to stay with me forever?

Excerpt:
“Let’s just let it happen.”
“I’ve never been good at that.”
Because she’s never had the chance;
Thom didn’t make it possible. I have a feeling that she’s tried to fantasize
her way into the experience she wanted with her ex—and failed. Her anxiety is
an unspoken ache bleeding between us. I feel her wondering… What will she do if
I can’t give her what she craves? If she’s not capable of feeling real pleasure
and she has to face the fact she’s been blaming her ex all this time?
And underneath her worries lies a
yearning I can’t resist. Not for me specifically…but if I do everything right,
is there any chance it could be? Is it at all possible she wakes up tomorrow
and wants me to stay longer?
What the… Why am I thinking this
shit? She’s only here for a couple of weeks while she puts her ex behind her
enough to date her new neighbor. Masey and I have nothing beyond tonight. I
need to remember that.
But she’s in my head and under my
skin. Sure, I’m attracted. But this is…different.
It feels like more.
“I have no doubt you’re better than
you think,” I finally say as I cradle her cheek and slowly slide my fingers
around her nape, curling the tips along the soft column. “But let me help you.
Tonight, tell me everything you think. If something I do feels good, say so. If
it doesn’t, I want to hear that, too.”
She licks her lips again, and at the
thought of her tongue on my skin, I feel my knees start to buckle. “You do?”
Masey breathes the question like
she’s not sure whether to believe me. I do my best to give her a reassuring
smile when what I really want is to strip her bare, kiss her breathless, then
rake my lips all over her body and focus on the parts that will make her sigh
and moan and ultimately scream.
“Yeah.”
“You won’t feel criticized?”
“Positive.”
“All right. I will.”
“Good. Last chance.”
“To back out?” She shakes her head.
“No. I-I want this.”
“This?” I know what she’s getting at.
I have every intention of being the most accommodating lover she’s ever
imagined. But I’m going to be an absolute bastard about one thing: she can’t
just want sex. I’ve hardly touched her and I already know that’s not enough for
me anymore.
“I want you,” she admits softly,
sending my triumph spiking. “It feels incredibly intimate to admit that. I
barely know you and I already want you so much I don’t understand…”
My fingers tighten on her nape as I
start to lean in. “Same, honey. I want you, too. Now stop talking so I can kiss
you.”
She braces herself by clutching my
shoulders. Her palms are like ghosts, barely whispering over my shirt. But her
fingers dig into me, as if she can’t quite keep her anxiety and her need to herself.
“Oh, god.”
“It’s going to be good, Masey. I
promise.”
I have no doubt about that.
She stops breathing again. Her eyes
slide shut. She tilts her face up to me. Without her heels, she’s a tiny thing.
I bend closer, closer, watching her lips softly purse.
My heart chugs. My blood races
through my veins, searing muscle and skin. My cock, which has been hard since
we met, turns unbearably stony as I inhale her scent. The beach clings to
her—salt and wind and something sweet that’s purely her.
What if I’ve been looking at the
wrong kind of woman my whole life? What if everything I’ve been seeking is now
right in front of me?
REVIEW:
Trace is a womanizer, but is changing due to his son. When his sister-in-law asks him to give her recently dumped friend a night she won’t forget, he agrees. Little does he know that he won’t want to let her go. Masey is a woman who spent ten years with a man, who in the long run, turned out to be a jerk.
I loved the chemistry between the couple and how nice Masey is. This is definitely a steamy book, but there’s great character development and a wonderful plot. This series keeps getting better. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.
